This was our first trip to any clothing optional resort so we were nervous as hell when we walked into the lobby on our first morning. We had stayed at another resort the day before so we could have a full day at Pearl. We arrived around 10 AM and was greeted warmly and given our champagne flutes. We had about a 5 - 10 minute wait before we got checked in, just long enough to look at each other and smile at our shared nervousness and say "here we go."

Check in was very smooth and our intro briefing from Many was very pleasant. He escorted us over to the restaurant to grab a bite to eat while pointing out the Spa, pool and hot tub on the way. Very nice breakfast and a really good way to start to ease into the experience. We then went to the spa, changed into our swimsuits and headed to the pool. It took me about 15 seconds to say "f it" and off went my trunks and they did not return the rest of the trip. My beautiful wife was a little slower to take it off but once she did she said that she's not sure if she'll ever be able to go to a "regular" resort again.

For you 1st timers that are scanning these reports. like we did, I have to say... I know that you will hear this several times from many people but it can't be more true coming from a couple that was as nervous as you are. DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THE NERVOUSNESS. There are people there at every age, body size and experience level. It is the most laid back and judgment free atmosphere you will ever be in.

Some random thoughts from the trip:

I highly recommend the art of touch sessions. We did the one that centered on the woman and I give it an 11 out of 10.

We had a great time at the pool everyday and made some really good friends along the way. Especially the couples from Idaho, Georgia, Indianapolis, and San Francisco area. We exchanged numbers with all of them and have friendships that will continue long past the trip.

Hot tub time in the afternoons was pretty much just a continuation of pool time but what a fun and sexy atmosphere!

We read a lot of negative things about entertainment in the evenings but can say that the bands were good and the shows / disco music was a really good time.

Theme night attire ran the gamut, no right or wrong. Do what you feel.

Restaurants were good. The first evening at Pearl the service was slow and not up to par, which is really the only negative that I can think of throughout the entire week.

The foam party on Cinco De Mayo was a real highlight.

All in all it was a great trip and we will definitely be back as soon as we can. My wife and I shared so many great moments in this fun and sexy atmosphere!
